Finalizing/Planning Part 2

    As previously discussed, the actor playing the main character will be my sister, and the location will be my living room. These factors are ideal as my sister already understands what it means to face artist's block, an interestingly consistency within my family as my sister draws and paints, my brother draws, directs, and edits films, and I am a writer. Anyways, she has experience that is beneficial towards our project and will help simplify the acting and direction portion of production. The living room has large, nearly floor to ceiling windows surrounding the space I plan to use, which would allow natural light to enter as the main lighting source. This feature adds to the peaceful tones intended to be expressed, and can be manipulated through eliminating the source and use darker tones instead (during the appearance of the obstructive piece). If need be, we have ring lights, able to use warm and cold tones, and a cylindrical light that is versatile in different RGB settings. 

    Evidently, in order to have natural light as the major source, production needs to occur during daylight hours, preferably before noon - noon, as this period is when the sun will hit the living room the most. This is somewhat restricting, and so is Nyx's schedule, so our filming days are limited, whereas we have much time for post-production and work on the CCR. To work around this problem, prop set up of the obstruction piece and discussions of how to position cameras and our use of setting will occur first, and afterwards, after-school time will be used to work on shots not needing natural light with Nyx. All other shots including the natural light will be filmed on my own, during weekends. It is a somewhat tight schedule, as I also would like more time for Nyx's help to overshoot preferably, but it is possible nonetheless.
